WOODSTOCK &#65533;&#8220; The library usually is not considered a venue for sex, but two Woodstock residents were caught in the act at the Woodstock Public Library this week, a police official said.

Raul A. Tapia, 19, and a juvenile female were caught having consensual sex among the book stacks at 414 W. Judd St. around 5 p.m. Monday, Woodstock police Sgt. Richard Johns said.

&#8220;Because of the vigilance of the library staff, they were seen by library staff and the police were notified,&#8221; Johns said.

Tapia, of 707 Oak St. in Woodstock, was charged Monday with criminal sexual abuse, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail. His juvenile partner, a female from the Woodstock area, was not charged, Johns said.

Antonio Calderon, a 16-year-old Woodstock High School student who was reading a magazine at the library Wednesday, said he was surprised to learn about what had allegedly happened there earlier in the week.

&#8220;Wow,&#8221; he said, looking stunned. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never heard of something like that before.&#8221;

The Woodstock Public Library was fairly quiet at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, but that was not usual for that time of night, said Assistant Library Director Jane Koehler.

On most weeknights, including Monday, the library is very busy between 3:30 and 7:30 p.m., Koehler said.

Police were not aware of any witnesses to the incident other than&#65533; library staff, Johns said.

Library Director Maggie Crane was out of town Wednesday and not available for comment.

Tapia was booked into the McHenry County jail Monday and released on a $1,000 bond, Johns said. Tapia is scheduled to appear in court March 21.
